The Mexica (Aztecs) valued and worshipped the agave.. the Old World belief is that drinking tequila influenced the bodily ‘humours’ – of balancing opposite influenced in food, medicine, plants (and the world in general) in order to maintain harmony in life. The Mexica placed firm limits on drunkenness, for fear of getting too close to the sacred. ‘The gods gave, in mythic time, alcoholic drinks to humans to bring them happiness. Humans were required to consume this happiness in moderation because drunkenness meant one was possessed by the gods of the pulque; he who drinks pulque imbibes [swallows] the god into the body, of which the god then takes possession. To take too much of the god into one’s body was a dangerous offense to the gods.
